Physical Science 20 - March 3

Today in Period 2 we finished our lesson on Math by learning about the rule for adding and subtracting numbers.  We also learned a different method for converting units.  This method is called dimensional analysis.  It is more difficult at the start but as soon as you master the method it makes conversions much simpler.  Students finished by working on the Metric Conversion Homework handout.  We will go over this tomorrow.  This method just takes much practice.

In Period 4, I checked the Metric Conversion Homework.  We then began to learn about the concept of the Mole and the purpose it serves.  We also learned what molar mass is and how to calculate it for compounds and elements.  Students we assigned Assignment C17 at the end of the class.  We will go over this tomorrow.

Tomorrow in class we will start looking at molar conversions.
